Abstract
The article studies L. Wittgenstein’s and W. Quine’s attitudes towards the problem of the cognizing of the word as a part of the problem of the word meaning. The question of how we cognize the language in its propositional facts which was ignored in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is analyzed in detail in Philosophical Investigations and gives rise to a wide range of concepts, ideas and doubts. Quine, following Wittgenstein, starts to study the cognition of the word but overrides uncertainty and focuses on the naturalistic approach, which allows him to build the model of scientific knowledge based exactly on the word and the way we cognize the word.
